Comment 4 for bug 1425812

I got this bug on my box (Utopic, but with the Vivid packages of HPLIP) and checked what I have exactly installed and all HPLIP packages including the hpmudext packages are of version 3.15.2-0ubuntu2, so there is no version mismatch. In addition, I have installed all binary packages which get built from the hplip source package, so I must have installed all files of the upstream "make install" and so no file should be missing.

I tried also running "python3" and then on the Python command line "import hpmudext" which works whereas running "python" (=Python 2.x) and "import hpmudext" fails, giving the impression that something runs accidentally under Python2.

For me it looks like that something went with the Python3 transition by upstream, so to the HPLIP developers at HP, please check.

Note also that during the package build I modify the shebangs of .py files from /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python3 to assure that everything is running under Python3, and config_usb_printer.py has a Python3 shebang in the Ubuntu package.
